Comic-con reminder

The famed Comic-Con International: San Diego (yes, that’s its full name) starts tonight and runs through Sunday. If you don’t have a ticket, don’t even think about it; it’s long since sold out (although if you are in San Diego anyway, there are plenty of things that are happening near the convention that should prove an excellent distraction; such as Tr!ckst3r.)

As I’ve noted before, I will only be at Comic-Con for one day, and even then will be away from the convention proper for most of that. I have no scheduled signings. If you want to see me, your real chance of tracking me down will be at the Snoopy panel, which is on Friday at 3-4PM in Room 28DE, and I will be glad to sign things before or after. If you have some particular need to see me, especially if it’s business, drop me a note (questions@aaugh.com) and we’ll figure something out.
